Coca-Cola shares rise after beating Q1 earnings and raising full-year profit forecast.

Coca-Cola reported stronger-than-expected Q1 earnings with adjusted EPS of $0.86 versus $0.81 estimated, and revenue up 12% year-over-year to $12.5 billion, driven by robust sales growth across regions. Organic revenue grew 10%, supported by a 3% rise in volume and 2% price/mix increase, with notable strength in Asia Pacific, North America, and EMEA. The company raised its full-year EPS growth forecast to 8-9% and currency-neutral EPS growth to 6-7%, maintaining its organic revenue and free cash flow outlook. This strong performance led to a 5.3% jump in shares and a positive outlook from Bank of America, which reiterated a buy rating and $88 price target.
